God's Hand Upon America


Many believe that God has pulled His hands off of America.  I have even heard preachers preach this and have seen books written to this effect.  I just don't believe this at all.

If there were ten righteous people in Sodom and Gomorrah, God would have spared the city His wrath.  Just ten!  Noah was warned by God when God said His wrath would destroy the world so Noah built an ark for his family and they survived.

America has many righteous people in it;  people who are washed in Jesus' blood and declared righteous by a very righteous God.  I don't believe He will pour His wrath upon His children.  Other men may pour their wrath upon us {terrorists, dictators, criminals, etc.} but not God.

God's wrath is much worse than man's wrath.  His wrath consists of fire and brimstone from heaven and a flood that flooded the whole earth.  Yes, Hitler's wrath was terrible and killed many people but it still wasn't as terrible as God's wrath.

God lives mightily through His people.  As long as we live in America being salt and light, there will be good here.  We must earnestly love those God puts into our path and let them see Jesus in us.  He is the only one that can truly change the hearts and minds of people.

If my people, who are called by my name, 
shall humble themselves, and pray, 
and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; 
then will I hear from heaven, 
and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
2 Chronicles 7;14

I agree with you - I do not think God is done with America yet. Here is my prayer for America: http://gracefullyrefreshed.blogspot.com/2013/05/n...

From some sources that I have read God has not pulled away from America but may be putting us in our place as we continually disregard Him. We could likely end up as a third world nation not as punishment but to bring us back to our roots and have us put our faith in Him rather than other worldly things or evil that promises "good" including our own politicians. It would be more like back in the 1700s, 1800s. Not necessarily a bad thing.
Completely agree! Hope you are healing well. Praying for you! http://ourlittlefamily-allison.blogspot.com

God's hand on America is a wholesome thought but I cannot find in Scripture that God ever put His hand on us - the world, yes, but just America so that He can take it off now because we are bad boys and girls? Where is Jesus? Where is the sacrifice for sin? The worldly living of Americans in general is wicked. . .dah! How about Egypt and Rwanda and Brazil? How come it is never said that God's hand is on them but only on the good pilgrims who heard God calling them to America from Denmark exactly as He called the Hebrews out of Egypt. . .I can't find any of this in God's Word.
